Who does what at Fira Gran Via
- Fira is the sole provider for all rigging: it installs the hanging points in the ceiling, calculates them, lifts the structure and lowers it after the show.
- You, or your appointed stand contractor, order the points in the Fira Store.
- To hang anything above your stand, you buy the right to hang through your Clarion Gaming account manager.
- Only Kuehne + Nagel may operate forklifts and lifting machinery at Fira.
- We assemble the structure and attach it to Fira's points.
Deadlines for ICE 2027
Hanging points are ordered between late November and mid-December 2026. ICE publishes two sets of dates: the Official Suppliers page gives 27 November (preferential rates) and 11 December (final); the Checklist page gives 1 December and a hard deadline of 15 December 2026. If you order late, there is no guarantee the points are installed before you arrive. All suspended structures must be flown by 12:00 on Thursday 14 January 2027.
What your stand plan must include
- details of the suspended elements;
- an Intention to Rig form;
- drawings showing the lifting points, with the load for each suspension point;
- for banners: the manufacturer's specification, total weight, load per point and fixings.
Stands without a Drawing Inspection Notice may not build. For the structure we assemble, we send the drawing and the truss specifications with weights for your submission; from them Fira calculates its hanging points and the load on each one. More in what the venue does and what your contractor does.
What REX does at ICE Barcelona
- We plan the structure with you: a frame for a banner, logo, lightbox or LED screen.
- We build it from aluminium event truss, sized from the truss manufacturer's load tables.
- We send the drawing and truss weights for your stand plan.
- Our crew assembles the structure on the stand floor and attaches it to Fira's points before the lifting deadline.
- After the show, once Fira has lowered it, we dismantle the structure and take it away.
It is a cost-effective alternative to ordering the whole hanging structure through the organiser's package. We also assemble ground-built truss: towers, portals and frames for LED and graphics. See hanging structures for stands and the exhibition truss structures overview.
LED on the structure
We supply the LED screens, mount them on the structure and include their weight in our documents. On request, we also build stand structures on a truss frame clad with LED screens or decorative panels, so the truss is not visible.

Frequently asked questions
Can we bring our own rigging contractor to ICE Barcelona?
No. Fira is the sole provider for all rigging: hanging points, their calculation and lifting. Your contractor, or REX, assembles the structure that hangs from them.
Who orders the hanging points at Fira Gran Via?
The exhibitor or its appointed stand contractor, in the Fira Store. The right to hang is bought separately through your Clarion Gaming account manager.
When is the deadline for ICE 2027?
Late November to mid-December 2026; check your Exhibitor Technical Manual. Everything must be flown by 12:00 on 14 January 2027.
Are you the stand builder?
No. We assemble the hanging truss structure and its LED. For a full stand, see the design and build offer at the top of this page.
Can you also supply LED and AV for our ICE stand?
Yes. Our crews work at ICE on LED and AV. See AV for exhibitions and trade shows.
